I got the futon in tan the fabric is clean and soft. It looks great and is very easy to fold out. The only thing is, this is really a 1 person futon. Two adults aren't able to sleep comfortably on this. There's also a flaw in the design in that if you lay too heavy on the folded side, it slants down and could tip over. It works well for me - I have occasional guests and only ever have 1 person sleeping there at a time, but if you're getting this futon for regular use, I would reconsider.
